Junkers Ju 290A-8

Hello,

Ju 290A-8 were built in batch 290110211-2900110220. As far as I know only two planes were really built. Are they W.Nr. 2900110211 and later Czechoslovak built W.Nr. 2900110212? Or some other planes? Is known were should be produced these planes from this batch? Any other mentions about fate(s) some of the planes from this batch?

Thanks for help

Michal

Re: Junkers Ju 290A-8

According to RLM Flugzeug-Programm Nr. 227 dated 15.12.1944, the
Ju 290 production was:
Ju 290A-1 = 8
Ju 290A-3 = 5
Ju 290A-4 = 5
Ju 290A-5 = 11
Ju 290A-7 = 19
Ju 290A-9 = 3

The only conversion was a number of Ju 290A-5 modified to A-7 configuration with the "Kehl IV".
